I love teaching reading skills with picture books, and fifth graders like it too. A great book that goes with our social studies curriculum and teaches comparing and contrasting life in England versus in the colonies is William's House by Ginger Howard. the book discusses how William needs to build his house differently in the colonies than his father's in England due to the weather and other factors.
It was interesting and effectively taught the reading skill while incorporating our social studies curriculum. I'm grateful for our wonderful librarian who found it for me.
